It's a question for the ages: If you had your pick between dating Movie Award nominees Robert Pattinson (Breakthrough Performance Male) and Zac Efron (Best Male Performance), and you absolutely had to choose, who would it be? Well, Twilighters aren't the only ones with an answer to that question -- Movie Awards host Andy Samberg has his favorite as well.

Calling Pattinson more "dangerous" and declaring that Efron is "probably softer, closer to a lady," it's a tight race. Watch the video below to see who Samberg picks and then click here to watch more of our hilarious interview with the "SNL" star.

FROM MTV.COM: On Sunday, at the MTV Movie Awards, invited guests include Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox and director Michael Bay. But even those high-wattage talents might not be the most exciting "Transformers" star you'll see this weekend.

"He is the king bee," LaBeouf told us recently as he discussed the Fallen, unveiling him to "Transformers" fans for the first time anywhere. "He's the patriarchal figure, he's the main dude. He's what all of this came from."

Stephanie Pratt got a sneak peek of where all the big names will be sitting at the Gibson Amphitheatre on Sunday night for the MTV Movie Awards. While perusing the rows filled with seat cards, the “Hills” star happened upon a potentially interesting seating arrangement.

“As of right now, I’m sitting between Eminem and Paris Hilton for Sunday night,” she said while reporting from the Gibson as an MTV Movie Awards weekend guest host. “And I don’t know if that’s going to work out, ‘cause last time I checked, I think Eminem dissed pretty much everyone on his album.” Read more...

"Hills" star Lo Bosworth has had a busy week as one of the MTV Movie Awards weekend guest hosts, getting styled and seeing all the action that takes place behind the scenes at the Gibson Amphitheatre. And now she can check one more item off her bucket list: having her picture taken by our Fashion 360 red-carpet camera.

Universal City, California's Gibson Amphitheatre was just locked tight on account of MTV Movie Awards host Andy Samberg's rehearsal. We busted through the doors to steal a peek anyway. The stage was in full effect, backlit by giant LED monitors crackling with animated lightning bolts and three-dimensional film strips.

Samberg himself was wearing an aqua-blue hoodie with matching Emerica kicks. He was pacing the stage like a hip-hop panther, tossing faux gang signs and dropping freestyle rhymes about someone (we're not saying who, but you wouldn't be wrong if you guessed one of Maxim's Top 100). See for yourself below, and then see it all Sunday night at 9 p.m. ET. Read more...

I met Keke Palmer from Nickelodeon's "True Jackson, V.P." this morning. We drove to the MTV Networks office in Santa Monica to meet her at a fitting, where she was deciding what to wear to the Movie Awards on Sunday.
